Kaiza Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 G'day fellas, A mate and I fly A-10C on a very casual basis a couple of times a week. We dont have a dedicated server, but his PC seems to have no probs with 2 people and his connection is pretty quick (Auckland based). We use TS and TARS. Just wondering if any other Kiwis out there are hosting games or are keen to hook up for some missions. I have seen Hotdog from SC hosting a couple of times, but no others. Any out there?

predator-nz Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 Hay mate I fly a couple of times a week when Im not working would be keen.I work night shift about 3-4 days a week.I am living in Dunedin.
ilikepie Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 hey Kaiza, there are a few out there looking to get back into some multi now its settled a bit, mostly things get tee'd up via Kiwisim, its all very casual and there's about 3 or 4 of us there. Perhaps drop a line over there as well.... i'm keen, but finding time between work and RL commitments is a juggle, so i am still a commitmentphobe Action After Contemplation
Kaiza Posted May 29, 2011 Author Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) Sweet as. Signed up to the KiwiSim forums, looking forward to getting into it. EDIT: hmm well I thought I posted something over there, but the topic didnt show. Perhaps I am too new to start topics?

ilikepie Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 could be the case as they tightened up after an influx of spammers. Action After Contemplation
Kaiza Posted May 29, 2011 Author Posted May 29, 2011 Looks like it is very tight, cant reply to your PM or your topic... [url=http://www.aef-hq.com.au/aef4/forumdisplay.php?262-Digital-Combat-Simulator][SIGPIC]http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/2500/a10161sqnsignitureedite.png[/SIGPIC][/url]
Kiwispit Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) Check out http://www.s77th.com/index.php Be good to see some more Kiwi's there, I need some support. I know Predator has been on their server. I can put up one of their servers/missions if need be. There are some guys there who are very willing to teach, so if you need help you will get it. Edited May 30, 2011 by Kiwispit
deflag Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 i play under the handle Pyr0. I try to play a couple of times a week. When i do jump online I usually throw a server up. No TS or TARS. But good for up to 6 players. AKA: Pyr0
metalnwood Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 I haven't done any MP as I had an issue of my FPS going to 1 when I joined servers. I think that is resolved so I would be keen to start doing some. I am a regular on kiwisim so I will see you over there as well.
Moa Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) Well the 'stallturn.com' server is located in Wellington. Mostly it runs the VNAO US Navy mod but I bought an A-10C license for it a few weeks back. It can handle a dozen VNAO folks connecting from the US every Saturday afternoon, so it would hopefully be even smoother for a bunch of bad-ass kiwis. I'm happy to flip the server over to A-10C and get a few folks on. Plus, I've adapted my 104th Phoenix stats program for A-10C (http://stallturn.com/104th/ you need the Java plugin installed in your browser, which you can get for free from http://www.java.com) Otherwise, there are some other good A-10C servers out there, including: * S77, although sometimes passworded so you can't get in :( * Seen an "ANZAC" server up from time to time. * the 74th server is located in Northern Europe. I put my stats system on it last weekend (combining pilot stats between the 74th, 104th, and =4c= servers, so no matter which you fly on your career follows you). 74th_Tyger has developed many of the advanced tutorials for A-10C and that is his stomping ground, so it is worth connecting to that server and letting him teach your the fine art of the Warthog Stomp. Unfortunately, ping is a little high from Godzone (I crashed on final approach a couple of times so the connection can be shakey from the Antipodes). If I made a mission for kiwis to fly cooperatively together on stallturn what local time would suit? I'm thinking a Thursday or Sunday night? We could use 104th Teamspeak for comms. ps: Kaiza, you are far too modest mate. Why don't you tell them what your day job is (night job is obviously Warthog Knucklehead :) ). If you don't then I will! Edited May 30, 2011 by Moa
metalnwood Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) I know a number of a10 flyers (3 or 4) do il2 on fri/sun nights. I am good for most thursdays though. Edited May 30, 2011 by metalnwood
Kiwispit Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 If you join the 77th TS they will give you the password.
Kaiza Posted May 30, 2011 Author Posted May 30, 2011 Fantastic to hear Moa! Does the 77th have an Ozzy server as well Kiwispit? The only 77th server I have seen I ping quite high on. Same applies for the 74th unfortunately. Don't know about the rest of you guys, but if Moa put up a server on Thursday nights I would be wrapped!

Moa Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) Cool. I'm making a mission now ... Got 8 Hogs on coldstart (you will need to know how to start it up) and 4 in air for those nuggets really new to the sim. Will keep the difficulty low (no JTAC) until everyone gets up to speed in the Hog, so if you are new don't be afraid of looking like an egg, au! just jump on in and people will show you the ropes (although you should be able to do takeoff and landings and know the basic cockpit layout). Will make mission fairly straightforward for now. An adaptation of my Kodori Gorge mission for VNAO (based on a mixture of events from 1991 and 2008 Georgian/Abkhazian civil war). Threats are not too hard but there is some mountain flying for those that like it - although you can also linger in the stratosphere and drop PGM (yawn) too :) Will post a link to the mission briefing in this thread, so you have time to do basic flight planning (if you enjoy it like me), although no planning is required (just follow the waypoints). What time is convenient for you fellas? Probably need 30 mins to get everyone squared away with comms and mission briefed. Then 30-70 mins flight time (depending on how many target groups to slam), time for fragging stuff, and a little time for debriefing. I guess around 2 hours for those that can stick around for the whole kaboodle. Default loadouts are mostly Mavericks, Mk-82 and rockets (easier for nuggets). You can of course change loadout for precision guided munitions (PGM) if you are landed or on coldstart. So, shall we say: * briefing at 2011-06-02 19:00 +12 [NZDT] => 2011-06-02 07:00 Z in UTC, and * takeoff time (T+0) at 2011-06-02 19:30 +12 NZDT This timing is designed so you don't miss the news, but you get going while your missus is distracted watching Shortland Street :) nb. This will be an open mission, but preference will be given to players from NZ and Australia - I reserve the right to ask players further away to leave if we have no slots left for locals (unlikely, but it could happen). No pings over 300 ms unless the server is pretty empty. Edited May 30, 2011 by Moa 1
ilikepie Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) good idea moa. should post @ kiwisim as well, might be a few interested parties there EDIT: i'll do a C&P so people get a heads up Edited May 30, 2011 by ilikepie Action After Contemplation
TAIPAN_ Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Keep us updated on the NZ action, I'll subscribe to this thread. We mostly fly Rise of Flight, but some of our Aussie and Kiwi members are getting A-10C but they're waiting for the compatibility patch to come out. Mainly because some of us only have FC2 or Black Shark and not all the titles. I have A-10C but I haven't done multiplayer yet. Will come online more after the titles get linked up again.

metalnwood Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 This thursday then? I am out on the 9th but if the wife isn't late I am in :)
Moa Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Yes metalnwood, this Thursday on stallturn (203.97.221.19) Briefing on 104th Teamspeak TS3 (IP:64.34.167.18 port 8056) starts 2011-06-02 19:00 NZDT; which is 2011-06-02 07:00 Zulu (UTC) for those used to working in that. Start spooling at 07:30 Zulu.
ilikepie Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 if the wife is late, does that mean you were in....... runs away giggling Action After Contemplation

deflag Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Would be nice to have wheels up a little later so thosse of us with kids have time to put them to bed. 8 pm would be a nice compromise! Anyone else in the same boat? AKA: Pyr0
Moa Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 but wait!....... ..............kiwis can't fly! :) See Nem, look what you are missing out on being in London. @Kaiza: that's a shame. Thought you could make a great flight lead for those new to the Hog Charlie. There's always next week ... (or divorce, lol)
